Ah!, you mean a program which "converts" an iso image and leaves it as a
directory containing the contents of the iso_image.
Now that that is out cleared up you should be able to use the disksets to
boot and install cladera, "Providing"
1) The unpacked iso image is an "exact replica" of a cdrom.
2) You define the correct path to the files when asked during the
install process.
Now in my experiance 1) will cause the problem, why.? Because normally any
windows or dos program will NOT write the files and directory names as
Caldera expects them to be, i would imagen they will all be upper case,
there have been many mails on this list about people trying to install
distributions from a hard-disk where the data was transfered by a windows
program.
Linux is case sensative.
If Caldera has named a file
ProgramOne.tar.gz
and windows writes the filename as;
PROGRAMONE.TAR.GZ
Caldera will never find the file period.
